Julian Construction Urges Homeowners to Commemorate Anniversary of Northridge with Foundation Inspection

Company Urges Homeowners to Commemortate 16th Anniversary of Northridge Earthquake by Getting More Prepared for Next Big Shake

LOS ANGELES: Julian Construction (www.julianconstruction.com), a construction company in the Los Angeles area that specializes in foundation repair, is urging LA area homeowners to get a foundation inspection to commemorate the 16th anniversary of the Northridge earthquake, which just passed on January 17th.  

Julian Construction founder Julian De La Torre stated “On January 17, 1994, the devastating Northridge earthquake struck the city of Los Angeles.  At 6.7 on the Richter scale, the earthquake destroyed thousands of homes, caused 75 deaths and over 9,000 injuries. Nearly $20 billion dollars were estimated in damages to the city, including apartment buildings which were split into two, collapsed homes, broken sidewalks and driveways, and many other serious ramifications in several neighboring cities. In California, earthquakes pose a constant threat, essentially since much of California resides on an active fault. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of your home, loved ones, and precious belongings, it is imperative to reinforce your structures, a sort of ‘earthquake proofing’ insurance. That’s why we are urging people to get a free inspection of their home foundation, to see if any steps are needed to prepare your home for the next big quake. Since your home is probably your biggest investment, it makes good sense to protect it.”

Julian De La Torre has been doing earthquake retrofitting since the early 1990s and has personally worked on over 6,600 homes in Southern California. With this unmatched experience in the substructure areas of a home, Julian formed Julian Construction in 2001 with the goal of making safer homes, apartments and commercial properties throughout Southern California.

His partner Shawn Kyles has inspected over 15,000 structures, working with both engineering firms and local departments of building and safety, and is an expert in foundation repair and house bolting. Julian Construction owns its own company and is built on a “no middlemen” model - no salesmen, no subcontractors. When you work with Julian Construction you get the principals of the company and workers of Julian Construction under your home.  The result is the highest quality work at affordable prices. They can be contacted by phone at 323 733-3377, by fax at 323 733-4477 or via their website, www.julianconstruction.com.
